Another month has passed already! Amazing how time flies. Especially when we are so busy transitioning into a new phase of our lives. And McKay just keeps on growing. For his 10 month birthday we were in California looking for a place to live. He is such a good baby, we are so lucky to have him in our family.
McKay is always on the go and ready with a grin. He is a very social baby and smiles at everyone he sees. No matter where we go, people look at him and smile, especially this past weekend in California. My blond hair blue eyed boy was quite the attention getter! He has several teeth now that he grinds together (any suggestions on this? I just give him a cheerio or his pacifier to get him to stop) and he loves to experiment with standing alone. He'll stand there for a second with a huge grin on his face and then hurry and catch you like he thinks he will fall (he isn't going to but it is part of the game) and laughs and tries again. He loves to hold onto our hands and walk as well as walk along the furniture or pretty much anywhere he has something to hold onto with at least one hand. He loves his 'rings' (see previous post) and I love to re-stack them so he can take them apart again and crawl around the house with them. Once he's got them in his hands, he doesn't let go very easily even if it makes it hard to climb up on mom's leg. McKay is a very good sleeper and when he is awake nothing escapes his attention. We adore our little man!

His hair is always so crazy when he wakes up! (This is a VERY mild example)
McKay had the WORST diaper rash I have ever seen. He got it right after we got home from Idaho for Mother's Day. Here we were letting his bum get some air (much easier to do when you are not at home.) I can't remember why he doesn't have anything else on though! He loved playing with that door stop. A&D Original (without Zinc Oxide) finally did the trick. Thank heaven (and Jennifer for the suggestion!)
This chair is at my Grandma Cardon's house and all the kids love to sit in it. It fits just right!

I think the teeth grinding is normal. He's just checking out his new gear. And I think he'll just outgrow it. Although some of my kids still grind their back teeth while they sleep, and that's not good. kelli
These pictures just make me want to hold him and hug him. He is such a sweet little boy!
